Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I came to try this product after researching full coverage long wear foundations and this product came up again and again. I was so excited to try it and it did not disappoint. It's great coverage but still looks beautiful and natural. It doesn't look flat or cakey and it doesn't settle into my pores! I have oiky/combo skin prone to cystic acne and enlarged pores, this provided great coverage and stayed a natural velvet finish most of the day (without setting powder or spray). Lasts amazingly when paired with setting powder and spray. So far this is the best foundation I've found for my skin that lasts and provides great coverage without being too heavy.

I've recently started using this foundation again after a hiatus of a few years and I'm really glad I did!

I have dry skin, so I generally prefer a more hydrating foundation with a dewy-er finish, however my workplace is HOT and I needed something that would survive the heat this summer, so I went back to Doublewear. For a more natural look, but still with great coverage I find 1 layer enough, but is easy to build up for full coverage.

This foundation is very matte, and it lasts forever! I just finished a 9 hour shift and it still looks great, doesn't crack around my nose like most foundations do.

Packaging is a nice glass bottle, however it does not come with a pump (can purchase separately for $15) which is kinda annoying since the price has gone up to $72 as well.

After trying multiple brands I have found my holy grail. I have acne scarred skin so I require a matte full coverage foundation. Unfortunately for me I do not like the cake look so a lot of foundations I tried in the past made me look like a porcelain doll with cracks. Then I discovered this foundation. Medium - full coverage which is light and silky. It moves with my skin and doesnt give the cakey look. Once dried putting powder over top is just a breeze and the foundation does what it says - lasts all day!

Once this stuff is on your face its not going anywhere, its got your back. You can sweat, cry, get caught in a storm, rub your face, try on 100 white turtleneck sweaters - still gonna be there.

The consistency is not too thick, fairly runny - which makes it super easy to apply, and buildable (although it is necessary to work quickly with this!). Its described as medium coverage, but for me, its quite full - I find this can erase my whole face with just one layer. amazing.

The longest I have ever worn this is about 18 hours and it was still looking pretty fab by the end of it - it's matte but not flat, and it never separated on my chin, or stuck to dry patches like other foundations normally would,

This is honestly one of the best foundations i have ever tried. i have combination skin and tend to get oily in my tzone during the day. With most foundations it shows through but with this one I never have to powder my tzone. Has medium coverage but can be built up with layering.

Simply put, this foundation is amazing. As a super light skinned girl I often have problems finding a shade light enough for me. The range in light shades is amazing! And caters for different skin tones aswell.

Medium coverage but very buildble. Its semi matte but dosnt stick to any dry spots. It lasts a full day at work and then some.

It is a little on the pricy side but I feel its worth every $$.

The bottle is glass and is a simple classic, appealing design, the only downfall being if you like a pump this has to be purchased separately.
